Alpine Families,
Please remember to vote tomorrow. Much of the issues addressed will directly affect your child at Alpine Elementary. If you need transportation or if you have any questions, you may call the school and someone would be happy to help. You can also send me an email. Ask you child to tell you about the water falling from our ceiling!
Save the date! We have one last study trip planned for June 3. To conclude our study on local government, we will go to Walker City Central, which involves the courthouse, road commission, police and fire. Weather permitting, we will enjoy lunch and playtime at the park behind City Central. More information will be sent as the time approaches.
The students are doing an amazing job on the math standards. The students have mastered the content in “Numbers in Base Ten”, which involves a lot of addition and subtraction. The children are all very familiar with place value, word problems, and inverse operations (using addition to check subtraction answers).
Beginning next week, your child will learn the basics of multiplication, which should be a very exciting time for everyone!
After learning about facts and opinions, the children started writing opinion papers. They certainly have a lot of opinions. We will be working on opinion writing for a few weeks yet.
The children had a bit of time to work on homework during class time today. They were all instructed to take it home, even if they finished the work, so parents could see it.
As always, contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
